Career

[edit]

Since her childhood, Castillo has been interested in acting, which led her to become a classical and jazz dancer at a young age.[2] She studied at the Centro de Educación Artística of Televisa for three years and graduated in 2003,[2] almost immediately she was named "Chica E! Entertainment" which earned her recognition in the industry.[3] In 2003, she was named "El rostro de El Heraldo" and was the face of the Acapulco Festival.[3] That same year she played Camila in the telenovela Clap, el lugar de tus sueños,[3] although she had previously appeared in other telenovelas such as Mi destino eres tú, Las vías del amor, and in the series Mujer, casos de la vida real.[3] After finishing Clap, el lugar de tus sueños, she dedicated herself to doing musical theater.[3]

In 2005, she acted in the film Corazón marchito, which was eventually released in 2007.[3] In 2006, she joined Cabaret as a dancer,[2] and later she did casting for Nacho Cano's musical work, Hoy no me puedo levantar, securing the lead role of María.[2] She had a short participation in the telenovela La fea más bella.[2] In 2007, she balanced her work in theater with a role in the telenovela Destilando amor.[4] In 2008, she had a small part in Gael García's first film as director, Déficit.[4] In that same year, after finishing the season of Hoy no me puedo levantar, she was invited to participate in the Spanish production of the musical, prompting her to move to Spain.[3] After being away from Mexico for several years and away from telenovelas, in 2010, she participated in the series Mujeres asesinas in the episode "Eliana, Cuñada",[4] and later joined the cast of Teresa, a remake of the 1959 telenovela, where she played Luisa de la Barrera Azuela, the protagonist's sister.[5]

In 2011, she appeared in the series Como dice el dicho in the episode "No todo lo que brilla es oro..."[5] and later concluded her contract with Televisa, participating in the telenovela Amor bravío.[5] In 2013, she joined the Spanish-speaking network Telemundo,[6] as part of the cast of the telenovela El Señor de los Cielos,[6] where she played Mónica Robles.[6] Her performance earned her several award nominations, winning two Premios Tu Mundo as Favorite Lead Actress.[7][8] In 2016, she had a special appearance in the series El Chema, reprising her role as Mónica Robles.[9] In 2017 she had a special participation in the telenovela La Fan, and in that same year concluded her participation in the series El Señor de los Cielos.[10][11]

In 2018, she got her first leading role in the film Una mujer sin filtro, a Mexican adaptation of the Chilean film No Filter.[12] Later that year, she got her first leading role in the telenovela Enemigo íntimo, which she starred in alongside Raúl Méndez,[13] with whom she previously worked in El Señor de los Cielos.[13] Subsequently, she appeared in the films Sacúdete las penas,[14] and Ya veremos, sharing credits with Mauricio Ochmann.[15] To end the year, she starred alongside Jorge Salinas in the film Mi pequeño gran hombre.[16] In 2019, she starred in the film Dulce familia, where she had to gain weight to play the main character.[17]
